Anthony's face was gloomy, and the whole car seemed filled with dark clouds.
When Eve started to move, he thought she couldn't help but mention the contract. However, to his surprise, she turned her head and grabbed his hand first.
What did she mean by that?
Didn't she know that he hated being touched by others?! Moreover, this stupid woman didn't even remove her claws.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "How long are you going to hold on?"
Eve finally came to her senses and, as if electrified, quickly withdrew her hand.
Then she saw the man still staring at her, as if waiting for her to speak.
Eve swallowed, feeling nervous as her heart raced, and felt that no words could describe her fear at this moment.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
Anthony spoke again, his voice filled with suppressed anger, just waiting for her to bring up the contract to kick her out of the car.
Eve's mind froze.
What should she say?
But after seeing the deep, ocean-like gaze of the man, she subconsciously blurted out, "Mr, Mr, Mr. Charlie, I won a prize!"
"..."
The car suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Anthony's eyes flickered, full of unpredictability.
At this moment, the girl's eyes were still bright, her excitement unmasked, unlike her usual weakness and inconspicuousness, giving her clear eyes a touch of agility.
But what did she say?
Anthony felt a dark cloud pass over his forehead.
She had been restless and hesitant for a long time, just to say that?!
However, strangely enough, he found that the girl's appearance at this moment seemed to overlap slightly with the girl in his memory...
Coming to his senses, Anthony was shocked by his thoughts. How could he think that she looked like her?
He immediately sat up straight and looked forward, as if wasting another glance at her.
His reaction actually made Eve feel a little relieved. She silently shrank into the corner, closed her limbs, and behaved like a well-behaved student. She even breathed more lightly, wishing she could turn into air.
-
At the sanatorium.
After getting out of the car, Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was difficult even to breathe in the car just now.
She silently followed a few people into the room.
Although this place was called a sanatorium, it seemed more like a paradise.
The courtyard was full of flowers, and the buildings were magnificent and exquisite. It was more like another Charlie Manor.
As she was thinking, the housekeeper spoke up: "We've arrived."
He stood to the side, gesturing for Eve to enter the room.
After entering, she saw Anthony took off his coat and casually hung it on the coat rack nearby.
In the room, an old woman with gray hair stood by the door, watching them.
This must be Old Mrs. Charlie, whose strict and serious appearance was just like Anthony's.
Eve quickly stepped forward, bowed, and softly said, "Hello, Grandma Charlie."
No matter what, the old lady was her support in the Charlie family, so a sweet greeting could always leave a good impression.
However, why did the atmosphere in the room change after her words?
Eve slowly looked up, only to see Anthony's strange gaze on her.
Then...
He turned to the side and called to the smiling old lady sitting on the sofa in the room: "Grandma."
Eve: ...
Awkward! She mistook the person! What should she do!!
